pours a nice golden pilsner blonde. To be expected clarity with regard to brewing water full sail uses. Nice smooth mouth feel, somewhat similar to their session line. Overall, beer dances nicely off the palate and I strongly recommend it.

light bodied
poured a nice 2 finger cloudy white head
carbonation adequate and just the right hoppy bite.

Love it. The aroma is a bit weak, but smells of earthy Euro hops. There's a fluffy white head and lacing. The flavor has a mix of creamy and dry toasted barley followed by spicy and (unusually citrusy) hops. Very drinkable and very tasty. Check this beer out.

D: A good malty German-type pilsner which could pushes malt to great effect but could use a slightly bigger hops presence to add another dimension to the aroma and flavor. As a session beer, this is a top pick for its easy-drinking nature but solid crafting with a big malt presence.

I like how Full Sail is continuing to brew lagers and round out their LTD line.
Pours a golden color that's dark enough to be heading in the amber direction. Head's fluffy just like normal pils would have.
Clean and hoppy while being true to the style. They haven't gone overboard with the hops or malt either. Clover honey, flowery hops that provide a slightly bitter edge, but nothing too crazy. Bready malt rounds things out, but the noble hops are still the intentional front-runner. They offer up a little grape skin into the mix. Finishes clean with a hint of liquorice.
Goes down really easy, and unlike the other nearly bock-strength LTD options is definitely intended to be consumed in 2's and 3's.
This is a good straightforward German pils done right. It's not a 100% clone of the style, but a clear FS take on it. The malt profile definitely reminds me of LTD 1 & 2, but tweaked for a paler offering.
It's nothing that'll blow your mind, but it's not intended to. It accomplishes the goal of a flavorful but drinkable lager very well.

A quite good pilsner. This beer pours a perfectly clear yellow gold with a sudsy white head, which is managing to stick around for quite awhile. The aroma is a bit weak but quite clean. There's some nice doughy malt in there, but a touch more hops would be appreciated. Some grassy/floral aromas are definitely present, though. The taste is clean, refreshing and very good. It's fairly malty until the finish, which has a crisp, smooth hop bite. It's a nice combination of fresh malt and crisp hops. Feel is light, and it's quite easy to drink. (rated to style)

Clear gold with a modest white head. Fair amount of lacings. Aroma is grassy and slight citrus. Taste is light lemony, grassy, light sweet malts and a fine bitter hop note. Not a perfect Pils by any means but meets the style well and is very affordable. Very nice summer beer for session enjoyment. Mouthfeel was fine a just a touch of the Full Sail yeast character. Limited time so give a go.

Single purchased @ Trader Joe's in San Clemente, California and presented in a brown 12 oz. bottle. #3 in a series of LTD brews.

Pours a light-golden straw color with a dense white head with decent retention and lacing. Well-hopped nose with spicy herbal and floral aromas.

Light to medium bodied, crisp and refreshing. Taste mirrors the nose with suggestions of Noble hops and floral notes, followed by a flash of lemon citrus. Finishes coarse on the palate with a moderately lingering bitterness. Worthy marks of a classic German Pilsener.

Smell: Light pilsener malt character with a bit of fresh grain and a near-imperceptible honey undertone. Hops drop off a few coarsely shredded leaves and a fruity note of lemons.

Taste: Starts with light pale and pilsener malts with delicate touches (only touches, mind you) of thinly buttered bread and sweet honey. The Saaz-alternative Sterling hops used provide a leafy character as well as a hint of lemon citrus. Fairly restrained bitterness. Finishes dry and smooth.

Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel.

Drinkability: A nice, thirst-quenching American-born pilsner that delivered some late-August refreshment just in the nick of time. Where to next, Limited Ed. Lager Series?

A - Very typical pale yellow color (straw) from this pilsner. Poured with a half finger of head. I would like to see a bit more froth on this one. Carbonation streaming from start to finish.

S - For me this beer's weakest category is it's smell. It really takes a backseat and isn't very prominent at all. It does nothing to compliment its taste. There is a slight hint of hops.

T - There is a slight hoppy bitterness on the backend but overall the beer is dominated by malts. It has a bright taste similar to many other pilsners but is clean all the way through. It has a great balance that runs from start to finish. There's no part of this beer's taste that turns me off.

Been on a lager and pils kick lately so i figured i'd try a single of this despite my usual distain for full sails regular offerings (except session black, suprisingly good schwarz).

Pours an unusually dark color (all relative, keep in mind) for the style. Sort of a very dark yellow/light orange, totally clear with a stark white head that retains ok, but quickly reduces to a skim with a ring, but does leave pretty good lacing.

Nose is a little off for the style. Smells alot more like an american made kolsch than a german pilsner. Lots of cereal grain like notes in the malt profile and some grassy hops.

Mouthfeel is a bit viscous for the style, but the carbonation is nearly perfect. Nice crisp finish.

Drinkability is pretty solid. Not quite as good as is expected in the holy order of great pilsners, but still quite slammable.

Overall this seems a little more like a kolsch to me, but its somewhere in there. Not gonna be in the same class as your prima pils, bitburger, etc, but a good lawnmower beer that is satisfying for what it is.

Brilliant icterine liquid, clear with a mad rush of bubbles running to the surface as if being dispersed from an aquarium filter. Two solid fingers of splashed white merengue leaves a solid puck plugging the glass. Thick dense lacing as well.

Lovely soft spring water on the palate - low winter fruit notes add sweetness balanced by pale malt and light clean bitterness from the hops. Quite crisp, and reminds me something of a cross between a Czech and a German example of the style, despite claiming inspiration from the latter.

A - A very light haze forms in the golden yellow beer after it's pour. The fluffy white head rises up like a sail and lowers slowly leaving sticky lace all over.

S - Smooth and soft malty pilsner and pale aroma with a touch of minerals to the background. A gently kiss of mild hops adds a pinch of grass and pine.

T - Sweet pale and pilsner malts with a small hint of honey splash on the tongue but is slowly eroded away but waves of soft pine and grass hops. A small mineral deposit on the finish brings the flavor full-circle to the aroma.

M - A small dry, light bitterness follows the initial sweet malty profile of this light-medium-bodied pilsner beer. It's soft and smooth going down but lacks a bit of carbonation.

D - This limited lager is an easy-drinking beer with a soft profile and nice flavor. A good first Full Sail beer to try I'd say.

Beer poured golden with a two finger white head. Nose has hints of hop flower. Taste is balanced, malts with a hint of cereal blend nicely into a crisp hop finish. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied. Drinkability is good, this is a crisp refreshing pils that makes for a good tailgate beer!

12oz bottle purchased at Huckleberry’s in Spokane for $1.29. According to the label, this is best by November 11, 2014.

Poured into a Jever pilsener glass, this was a slightly hazy amber-gold color, with a decent sized bone-white head.

Smelled like a Pacific Northwest-hopped version of a pilsener, with a piney and citrusy hop scent dominant. It’s a little stronger of a hop aroma than normal for the style, but not to the point of it being unsettling.

The ratio of hops to malts is kept pretty close to the standard for the style, though it’s still a little more hoppy than the norm, and, like in the scent, the hop flavor is more akin to what grows in the Yakima Valley than, say, in the Czech Republic.

The body is somewhere between light and medium, with a slightly oily mouthfeel. It finishes cleanly, just as a pilsener should.

This works pretty well as an Americanized pilsener – pretty close to, but not exactly the real thing. Where it shines is that you are more likely to get a hold of a fresh example of this than one of the outstanding European pilseners, and it’s often cheaper than those imported beers. Definitely one I’ll go back to.

Poured into a pilsner glass a clear light golden with a thinner but well retained white head,alot of tiny bubbles.Bready malt really stands out in the nose,a light shot of herbal hops,and iron as well.A realy bready malt profile on the palate wich is really nice,light lemony and herbal hops round out the flavor profile nicely.Another well made American pilsner,I have had a few over the summer,this is nice for the warm weather.

Taste has a bit more than the nose, more in the toasty pilsner malt, some straw and light hay, light soft layered lager malt flavors and a crisp lager flavor, touch of sweetness. Light bitterness with some grassy and slightly earthy hops. Finish is dry and crisp, more light grassy and slight herbal hops, bit more lager flavors with light hay.

Mouth is med to lighter bodied, decent carb.

overall not bad, decent pilsner flavors, lighter on the hops but tasty and drinkable, although overall a bit lighter than I expected.
